After the last viewers had gone today I was able to get the cases down from the attic.
Made a start collecting stuff together but I think it needs a serious cull! I try not to overpack but it’s hard to leave some things behind.
Emirates have a big luggage allowance of 32kgs so it’s tempting to just pack too much.
Three good things:
1. Can’t tell but today’s viewers seemed to like the house. Mustn’t get our hopes up so trying to be sensible.
2. The weather has taken a turn for the better...a dry day & a better week ahead.
3. March 1st...Spring is on it’s way.
Oh yes.....I do it every time!!!!
So used to being prepared for any weather in UK!!!
Hope the viewers are soon in touch. And yes....Allan has just said he thinks the grass is growing again!
Ooh Pat , I feel your pain ! and can understand - I over pack even for a week on Llandudno !! ha ha !! Good luck with sorting ot what is to go and what is left behind !
@kwind Yes I do Kim. I once followed a guy on 365 who’s wife was working in China...some high powered job & he told me about packing cubes I ive never looked back. Everything rolled & all separate cubes. I always think I will be so proud if they have to open my case.its only happened once when my luggage got left in Melbourne. They rang asking permission to unlock & look in my case ....I sadly wasn’t there to see their faces at my immaculate case! 🤣
@beryl I think its because in this country we have to pack for all weathers....that’s my excuse anyway! Cathy has been know to look in & chuck stuff out!
@sarah19 Yes fingers crossed re viewers....would be lovely to have an offer before we go away. Harry has mown two lawns....good for Allan getting going early!
@louannwarren That’s true Lou Ann strangely the wedding gear isn’t causing a hassle...silky dresses rolled up quite straightforward for me...more if a problem for Harry having to pack jacket etc.
@maggiemae Well that’s a great solution maggie...will try to remember that...sounds sensible too but I do like a change. It actually usually ends up that way, that’s why I come back with unworn stuff.
@happypat Hi Pat , I am in Whangamata and went for a drive and walk along the beach to see if I could find the bach you stayed in. There was nothing I could see in the colour scheme you told me, and with property prices risen so much here over the last 2 years, I wouldn't be surprised if the family have painted it and possibly built on and modified it. I saw some small baches though, and took a couple of photos, but don't think they would be it. Sadly I can't attach them here.
Yes, they say lay everything out and then reduce it by half! It's very hard - especially when you need special outfits for a wedding! You've made a good start to the packing effort!
@casablanca It’s a bit misleading calling them packing cubes as they are just material packs with sides & strong zips...I was quite surprised when I checked them out but they do work amazingly well. I put trousers in one shirts in another & so on. I always roll & they come out looking really good, folding makes more room too. I will take a photo & post it today.
@zeezee Ah never mind Corojo I wouldn’t be surprised if the family have sold or more likely done it up, it badly needed doing! It was a charming place though....sad if it’s changed! Thank you so much for looking...we don’t get up there these days as son who used to take us has moved to Taupo. X
